A Chance Encounter in the Night

A roguish, devoted, bad-boy hero & a clear-headed, independent heroine

Su Xingtang had spent over a decade as a well-behaved young lady in the Gu family. She was so obedient that her rival stole the fiance she had been promised since childhood, then opposed her at every turn.

Using the name of the family's mysterious young uncle, her rival forced Su Xingtang to call her fiance "Big Brother" overnight, and arranged to marry her off to an old man as his seventh wife.

A little white rabbit will bite when pushed too far.

She heard that under the family rules, her rival had to kneel and serve tea to the young uncle every New Year.

Su Xingtang curved her lips into a smile. "Then I'll win over this young uncle who enables you, and make you kneel to both of us!"

She hadn't expected the young uncle to be younger than she imagined. When he flirted with her, his peach-blossom eyes were both roguish and full of affection.

Su Xingtang kept reminding herself not to let him charm her.

People in their circle noticed a fresh-faced, delicate little white flower had appeared by Duan Lin's side.

The little white flower had been in love with Duan Lin for ages. Her voice was soft and sweet, and she looked at people with a pitiful expression. After Duan Lin casually mentioned something, she started getting up at three every morning to cook porridge for the young master herself. Even after burning herself, she kept at it.

Duan Lin folded his arms and looked her over, a sarcastic smile playing on his lips.

If he hadn't seen her take the delivery from the courier after sleeping in, he might have believed her!

As soon as he left, Su Xingtang yanked off her long, straight black wig and ripped the bandage from her wrist. "You damn bastard!"

A well-defined hand picked up the wig from around the corner.

"Tsk, tsk, can you even act?" Duan Lin looked down at her with an amused, mocking smile, slowly backing her into a corner. His voice was low and husky. "If you really can't, should I teach you?"

At the banquet, Su Xingtang made a grand entrance with Duan Lin on her arm. She was stunned to hear her rival call a baby who had just turned one month old "Young Uncle."

Her rival gaped at her, then said in despair, "Grandma."

Duan Lin: "Didn't you ask me to back you up?"

What a surprise, huh? Isn't it a delight?

The man is old enough to be your grandfather!

Su Xingtang: "I'm still young! I'm a big sister! I don't want to be a grandma!!!"

After they got together, Su Xingtang found her school ID card from her first year of high school in Duan Lin's study. She had no idea where she had lost it.

Only then did she realize that all the accidental encounters she had once believed in had actually been carefully planned by someone else.

#Unrequited love from the male lead's perspective, finally requited

#The second female lead and the male lead are distant relatives with no real connection

#One-on-one romance, both leads are sexually inexperienced
